I had such a lovely stay in The Cottage! The property is so lovely and Georgina is a wonderful host! Guest lodgings are beautiful, clean, and very well stocked with necessities and accomodations. The space has a functional workspace for getting some remote work done, the bathroom area is perfect for getting ready, the bed/lounge area is very comfy for rest and relaxation, and the small kitchenette allows you to make yourself real meals while away from home. Very nice neighborhood and conveniently situated for Bay area excursions to a variety of locations by car. Highly recommended and I will certainly be back!

The CUTEST cottage! The AC was perfect on the hotter days, the bed an pillows were comfy, and we enoyed making coffee in the french press every morning, too. The shower had good watwr pressure, amd no lack of plush towels. Everything was just right. Even their sweet pup had the best manners! The little path to the cottage was so nice through Georgina's beautiful garden.

Really lovely spot to work remotely for a few days. View of the garden from the desk and bed made it feel like a cozy hideaway. Georgina is a thoughtful host, and Charlotte (her pup) was a delightful visitor during my stay.

Beautiful, cozy, clean, and home-y space from a lovely host! My wife and I stayed for just a couple days as an artists retreat to sketch and relax, get away from the city and work on some art projects. Enjoyable backyard garden to chill in the sun and pet a friendly dog and cat (huge bonus)! Thanks for hosting us! -Scott & Sarah

My husband and I just finished a three week West Coast trip and this property was by far our favorite. Not only is the view from the cottage/house amazing, but the attention to detail was beyond compare. You can tell by everything that is provided that the owner is well traveled and wants you as a guest to feel comfortable. Highly recommend!

The most wonderful stay.

My stay at Georgina's cottage was incredibly comfortable, beautiful and peaceful! The experience was possibly the best I've had while renting a temporary vacation home. It's a small space but very cozy and has all the essentials. Georgina is also the kindest host, easy to communicate with, and made me feel very well cared for during my stay. Five stars, wish I could give more!

We’ll be back!

My partner and I loved this little cottage for our roadtrip to the Bay! Georgina’s space was so nice and clean, she had the sweetest animals, and a beautiful view of the SF skyline from her driveway! It was perfect for what we needed. We’ll definitely be back.

The owner was very accommodating. She made sure we had everything we needed and even went out of her way to get us new pillows to match the ones we are used to at home. The place was comfortable, but small with only a small sink in the kitchenette and none in the bathroom. The off street parking was a plus.

Such a lovely little cottage tucked away in the most beautiful and well tended garden. The host is very friendly, welcoming, and has excellent taste! We were very comfortable, she went out of her way to make us feel at home with sweet little touches like organic half and half for the French press coffee and a perfectly ripe avocado. Charlotte the dog was a welcome bonus.

Lovable Environment

The garden was truly beautiful and well tended to, you can just tell it’s cared for with love. On top of the garden, her dog charlotte was truly lovely. Such a friendly lady dog. I believe that if you love her garden and dog you’ll also like Georgina, she is just a wonderful woman. Her soul reminds me of a flower. I honestly would come here again if I just needed to get away from everything because it really is a calming environment!
This was the view of her garden around sunset
First morning there she gave me and my friend muffins, I already ate mine lol
Charlotte! The dog doesn’t just waltz in, I let her in a couple of times because I’m a huge dog lover!
